With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

[Darko]

I feel like we don't talk enough about how Paul has two different states and one is the guy with proper common sense in a superhero world while the other is the dumbest guy alive who thinks it's a good idea to use necromancy to bring back his girlfriend's victims cause she felt sad about them.

He's a man of contradictions.

And it's not even that odd.

People can be simultaneously both very intelligent and very stupid.

A high IQ doesn't guarantee an immunity from stupidity.

I don't know what you're talking about. That worked out fine

If you were a Satanist, then yeah, it worked out.

I take a snip from my overpriced milkshake… Adequate. I could do better.

With an orange power ring I would hope so.

"Because you need to get parental consent."

Given the whole silver skin thing her dad has to know what she has been doing. Consent for training and support should not be difficult.

Not every parent that knows their child is a superhero may be comfortable with them joining the Justice League.

Sure, training and support may be good, but the types of threats the League deals with are basically world-ending, so the parents may be worried their children will be forced to fight such threats.

This chapter was fun.


That's it.
Nothing substantive to add.

I hope we'll get to see Argent weirded out when she sees Paul when he's deadly serious.

 

[Steelplaza]

Somehow, I suspect convincing Daddy to let her do this is going to be the hardest part of this recruitment.

Funny, I was going to post how it should be incredibly easy. Given she's already doing the superhero thing, "Let the Justice League train me how not to die," is the easiest sell ever.

Ayo, heard you talkin' shit.

Dis you?

As he said special circumstances , a child needs to be taken away of a dangerous/negative environment, if they are given super powers as a collateral... Well far better for the story

I find him calmingly neurodivergent, extremely capable on certain fields, mystified on why people don't think like them on certain other things, like living with inferior drinks when other options are available with a little effort

Also, no one in the rest of the universe speaks Daxamite-kryptonese. And they were keeping him away from combat zones.

Argent's powers as "kind of like a Green Lantern but not as good" remind me a lot of Starman's Cosmic Rod which is also "kind of like a Green Lantern but not as good".

Makes me wonder if what she's actually doing is channeling cosmic energy, with her biological control mechanism making it manifest as silver plasma.

Except in that it charges constantly, and so seldom runs out of power.

I assume she'll end up with a different costume, though. Because y i k e s

Her costume isn't that bad right? Atleast it doesn't on her wiki page. https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Antonia_Monetti_(New_Earth)
